Non-Compete Litigation: The Initial Client-Attorney Meeting
// Dallas, Texas, United States // Attorney Keith Clouse (Press Release) // Keith Clouse
If you’ve been accused of violating a non-compete agreement, you may find yourself the target of a fast-moving lawsuit. To defend the lawsuit and protect your interests, you’ll need to hire qualified non-compete counsel right away. To make the most of your initial meeting with counsel, consider these tips from Dallas non-compete attorney Keith Clouse:
1. Be prepared. Gather the applicable non-compete documents and review them ahead of time. You should bring your employment contract and/or non-compete agreement, any cease and desist letters or other post-employment communications from your previous employer, and any court papers. List the questions you want answered so that you don’t forget them.
2. Prepare to explain the industry you work in, your industry experience, your role within your former company, and your plans for the future. Your lawyer needs to understand these things before advising you.
3. Be honest. A lawyer must know the relevant facts—good and bad—before he can formulate a workable approach. Disclose all the facts, even the ones you’d prefer to hide, to enable your lawyer to give you the best advice.
